Births and marriages for it are found on the LDS Family History Library microfilm 1279329 (available through your nearest LDS Family History Center). The birth records go through 1984 and the marriages through 1970. Ballybay is a civil parish situated a little south of dead-center in Co. Monaghan and is in the barony of Cremorne. It contains the town of Ballybay as well. Incidentally, there is a St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Carrickmacross, Magheracloone civil parish. Could this be the "Kelly's Cross" referred to, with the name blurred over the years? Sally M.
